Hello fellow denizens of Blue Moon! I, of course, am Rivine and this would by my apocalyptic request thread!
Lately I have been craving apocalyptic settings above all else, so here we are! Below you will find some plots, pairings and even apocalyptic fandoms to chose from! Also do not be shy to suggest something of your own creation!
Apocalyptic Fandoms
A pandemic that spreads on Black Friday causes the United States Government to collapse in five days; basic services fail one by one, and without access to food or water, the country quickly descends into chaos. In the wake of the devastating pandemic that sweeps through cities across the country it is discovered that the spread of the disease is transmitted through germs on banknotes. As a last resort a classified unit of self-supported tactical agents, known as the "Strategic Homeland Division (SHD)", or "The Division" for short, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives, SHD agents are trained to operate independently of command when all else fails. This group is established to combat the threat brought about by the outbreak and are given direct authority by the President of the United States to do whatever it takes to prevent the fall of society and piece the country back together.
In this setting I was thinking our characters would have just met. Yours would be new to (city to be determined) while mine has been living their for awhile. The two meet, both feeling the need for some kind of human connection. Something met for sex turns into more rather quickly. Since Division agents are sleepers/undercover, they would not know that the other is an agent until they are both "activated" and the find out they are in close proximity to another agent... the other character. Then we could deal with them having to really get to know who the other person really is.
Mad Max
- Vuvalini : Soon after the Green Place turns sour the Vuvalini of many mothers split up into several groups and head out in different directions, seeking a new place to grow. One such group captures a man who claims to know of such a place. He will lead them there, but is sparing with the details. Is he full of it or only afraid of no longer being useful to them?
- Water Water... : What would you do for a drink of water? A man or woman has been wandering the wastes, only to come upon a small settlement with water. Catch is, they only let those that prove to be useful have a drink or twenty. What use can the wanderer be?

Apocalyptic Plots
- Fire From the Sky - The world has been devastated by a nuclear war or meteor strike(s). In a world changed you need allies. What else is family for if not to help you? Well, they can help you repopulate the world of course. (Father/daughter, uncle/niece, brother/sister and mother/son are all viable options)
- Olympus Fallen - Channeling a bit of The Mist with this one as well. Was thinking one or both of us could be a soldier and/or scientist or could go with both being locals trying to cope. In the Olympic Mountains in Washington state, the government has a secret laboratory that has been conducting classified experiments. Several days ago all communications with the lab ceased. Since then a parlous haze has started to blanket the areas around the mountains and it seems to grow thicker as one moves closer to the lab. But it is not the mist that is most concerning, rather what is in it. We could be a team sent to investigate or, as I said, locals trying to survive.
- Rain Rain, Go Away - A comet has struck the moo, breaking apart as the result. Not only does the fracturing of the Moon causes issues, but the comet's remnants form an accretion disk around the planet. Since the comet was composed of a large amount of water, this causes an unforeseen result; rain. As more and more of the fractured comet is pulled into the atmosphere, the ocean's levels rise. Our characters are two refugees desperate to survive in a quickly changing world.
- The Red Flu - A new contagion has evolved and spread rapidly through the human population. The contagion, called the red flu, is spread through bodily fluids, most often a blood filled cough or sneeze that the infected emit. What is worse, the virus compels those with the disease to spread it through any means necessary, which turns them into raving maniacs who's only purpose is to spread the virus. In a world that is falling apart, how will out character's survive?
